The wails of the young palace maid outside the hall gradually subsided. Nanzhi sat at the table, still shaken, as the other palace servants rushed up to comfort her.
"Sister Zhizhi, you can't sit for long. Let me help you to lie down on the couch."
"Sister Zhizhi, what would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you."
"Sister Zhizhi..."
The palace servants were all adept at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly.
Xiao Lanchuan dotes on her so much; she might become a favored concubine or something in the future. She has no choice but to hurry up and curry favor with him now.
"Sister Zhizhi, the Emperor treats you so well. You are now living in Changqiu Palace, a place only the Empress can live in."

Although they don't have tongues, it doesn't stop them from screaming.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived."
Hearing Jiang Fulai's voice, Xiao Lanchuan withdrew his gaze from the human pig and looked up gently at the Empress Dowager who had walked to the palace gate.
His good mother arrived quite quickly.
"My son, I heard you were assassinated and I rushed back from Jin Guang Temple because I was worried. Are you injured?"
The Empress Dowager looked somewhat haggard and walked in with hurried steps.
However, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw several human pigs inside the jar, their appearance terrifying and their voices hoarse and unpleasant.
Xiao Lanchuan had barely taken a few steps after getting up when he exclaimed in surprise.
